Title:  Supporting Children With Oppositional Behaviors

Description:

Are you a parent or professional who helps children who have oppositional behaviors? Is mainstream behavior management not working well? Trauma, anxiety, and chemical imbalances can all factor into this complex issue. Mainstream behavior management strategies may not be effective for those with oppositional behavior patterns. During this presentation, you will learn strategies to assist with preventing meltdowns and aid in de-escalation of big emotions. You will also learn ways to prevent miscommunications, how to foster a diverse and inclusive environment, and how to encourage participation in self-advocacy and problem-solving.
